- Nobody Dies on Mars, an AI sci-fi short by Verena Puhm and team, took second place at the 2026 Future Vision XPRIZE, winning $100,000.
- The film follows a Mars chef who lost his sense of taste and befriends a small alien named Miso.
- The winning formula: a deliberately small premise — one character, one loss, one friendship — something finishable with today's AI tools.
- Practical tip for festival entrants: write your logline as one sentence about a single character and what they lost, and check every shot against it.
